Travel / Warsaw Metro & Public Transport & WiFI in Warsaw [10]

in rush hours I recommend to use trains. Recently I have been travelling by trains and it's a good opportunity to save your time.

Travel / train @ bus from warsaw to budapest? [17]

yes there is a direct train from Warsaw to Budapest, but it's quite expensive, I think. it costs about 470 (return ticket). the journey takes about 11 hours. There is cheaper connections going by bus. There are a lot of direct connection form Warsaw for ex Ecolines, Eurolines or Orangeways (it's the chepast, I think- one-way ticket costs 70 zl=17 EUR) but it starts from Cracow.

I'm going to go Budapest next week on Friday, so that's why I know a bit ;)

Life / Kozak - compliment or insult in Poland? [12]

I have to paste it here. it's oldschool silesian hip hop disco :) Recipe for the soup-Incredible inspiration.

Travel / how do i know which " schronisko" is the best to stay? [6]

"Morskie oko" i do not recommend: lots of tourists, expensive and loudly. ble

But basically where do you go? to tatra mountains, beskidy, bieszczady, karkonosze...etc? :)

There are many quite good "shelters" in mountains. In Lupków "in the end of the wolrd ;)" nice and cheap.

It depends on what do you prefer, because for ex Lupkow has no electricity, water etc (well, there's a well :) )
"pod rawkami", PTTK in Wetlina, "Chatka Puchatka"- everything is in Bieszczady
"magura malastowska".

In tatra there good places, but they are expensive and looks like hotel, so it depends on what do prefer.

Kawasaki rocks, it's incredible. but Verka serduchka is good also. i cant believe that I've got 2 CDs with this kind of music. i bought it in Ukraine. whatta souvenir :)

In Bulgaria there's also famous "drag queen", but Verka and Wisniewski are image amateurs comparing to Chalga music star Azis.

and HUGE hit from my childhood :)

Life / Polish Train Travel - Scary? [101]

Genealogy / COUNT AND COUNTESS DECROIX [15]

hmmm, you can check it in GUS. I also associated with Morskie Oko, there are some residences for ex. at Dworkowa st, but I think it belonged to radziwill. There is also Palac Szustra, it's on the hill but I'm not sure, because it was...Szuster's palace.

It's very difficult, because most mansions were demolished during the war. Well, Warsaw was demolished in 90% at all.
